About the 2011 nomination
The Captioning Studio brings together technology and a passion for inclusion of people with hearing loss.
The business provides daily television captioning which gives viewers with a hearing loss full access to television programs, and also captions and subtitled DVDs and videos. The Captioning Studio also provides theatrical captioning in venues across Australia.
Their unique Go-Theatrical! software is used in theatres and venues across Australia. They have also recently launched ‘Captioning Equipment Kits' which provide free and shared use of equipment such as plasma screens, cabling, laptops and software to venues in capital cities around Australia.
They've also developed new technology, Clickable Captions, which encourages website owners to make online content accessible by displaying a full transcript next to online videos.
